The Gunga Din

The Gunga Din was an American rock band, formed in 1998 in New York City. Featuring vocalist Siobhan Duffy, guitarist/vocalist Bill Bronson, bassist Chris Pravdica, drummer Jim Sclavunos, and keyboardist Maria Zastrow, the band released two albums, Introducing: The Gunga Gin and Glitterati, in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Its members came from a diverse musical background, playing in the bands such as God Is My Co-Pilot, Swans, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Described as a "New York-style art rock band," The Gunga Din combined a Farfisa organ and psychedelic music-inspired drumming. Its debut album was described as "an equal blend of post-punk and new wave" with occasional psychobilly influences and was compared to the works of the bands such as the Doors, X and Suicide. The band's second studio album also drew comparisons to the works of PJ Harvey and The Velvet Underground.
